In college, she developed a life-long friendship with Rachel Paine Caufield (Drake University Professor of Political Science and Chrysalis Board President). Together, they traversed the social pressures of being young women, becoming adults, finding their identities, pursuing their professional goals, and always supporting and challenging each other.____________________More about Heather Hamilton: Heather Hamilton is a globe-trotting advocate for girls and women.
